“Prigozhin personally gave the command to attack with everything we have. And here we must honestly understand: there are no fairy tales; when storming a well-fortified area, the attackers will always have more losses. Soledar is a solid fortress with underground communications, which was broken through by assault groups. The military believed this the assault was a completely impossible task, so for Prigozhin personally it was considered a matter of principle. Therefore, the overall loss figures are very large. They are discussing Prigozhin’s phrase among themselves that Soledar is now in. a day devours more people than recently the entire front (Musicians) in a week. But this should not be taken as exact mathematics, Prigozhin loves artistic expressions.
The Ministry of Defense still does not risk joining the assault directly (squatting somewhere far away and saying “don’t let them retreat” is not participating in the assault) – the situation there is such that even a large formation can easily be lost. It is Wagner who works only in small groups; with this approach, the military will lose all coordination.
Yesterday there was an order to take control of the military’s actions – in Wagner they were afraid that they might start hitting positions with artillery indiscriminately.
Negotiations between Prigozhin himself and the Ministry of Defense will be based on the results of the entire operation with Soledar.
What they are afraid of at Wagner: that the military will force the Musicians to immediately move on to the same large-scale assault on Bakhmut. But Prigozhin should not fall for the weak, because there simply aren’t enough people physically. Already, everyone they could from everywhere had already been recruited; the super-replenishment of prisoners had been exhausted to the point of exhaustion.
What do the Musicians expect: that now they will be given an increased supply of shells and will begin a greater mobilization so that they will be able to receive refuseniks in the required quantities.”

A source from the Cheka-OGPU said that the army command had found a very unusual way to solve the problem with “refuseniks” (or, as they are called, “five hundredths”). Now they are actively discussing the possibility of collecting all refuseniks into an analogue of “fine battalions” and transferring them…
